Expat dependents’ employment not linked to amnesty Allowing dependents of expatriates to work as per specified rules is not a temporary exemption but a permanent proposition, said Deputy Minister of Labor Dr. Mufraj Al-Haqbani here on Wednesday. It is not linked to the rectification of grace period, he explained. Haqbani said the employment of dependents is the alternative for recruitment from abroad, but not a substitute for Saudization. The extension of the amnesty by the King earlier this month allowed dependents of expatriates to work as long as they have a written request from the business that wishes to employ them, are at least 18 years of age and have been listed as dependents to legally resident expatriates for at least one year, and the firm hiring the dependent have the consent of the sponsor of the dependent.
